made mistake of visiting the expensive grocery
asked how much a pound of beef bologna would be,
lady said “$16.99”
which was super-expensive, but since I was in there I said, OK for one pound.
she sliced and wrapped it, stuck the computer-generated price tag on it, and ran away super fast —
that caused me to wonder. I took a glance at the price tag.
$38.66
($36.99 a pound and she had gone a tad over at the slicing machine)
there was another employee within hailing range so I called him over. he did a long embarrassing dance about how I would have to pay the computer-tag price instead of the quoted price (my companion witness was howling at him.. to no avail)
result, he got handed back his sliced diamonds
and we left the store
however,
even the quoted $16.99 is up from $9.99 at the regular grocery just a few weeks ago
I’m returning to the regular grocery but food prices there have shot up 30 percent or so in the last couple months.
on almost all kinds of things.
a 16 oz bottle of pickles was $7.99
and they had eggs from around $4 ... all sold out... to about $12 (!)
potato salad at $11.99 a pound
99 cent wheat bread for the birds up to $1.79 or $2.29 (depending on which store)
tiny little TV dinners, the cheapo brand that has always been 99 cents, now $2.25
Biden will lose except for the D party ELection Theft Machine
he would not get 30 percent of the vote without it
gasolind $6.69
I’m working on my seed orders for next year now. They ran out last year and I ordered in December. Prices are skyrocketing..
I’m purchasing wheat, rye, oats, buckwheat, and corn at the farms. Cleaned and in bags. It’s hard finding alfalfa seed in 50# bags that is not pretreated.
